Dear Region IV students and faculty,
Welcome to what we hope will be sunny Daytona Beach, Florida!
Please join me in thanking and congratulating the students, faculty and staff of the School of Music, Entertainment and Art. Planning this festival has been a lot of fun because there’s so much to offer at Daytona State College.
I want to thank everyone in Region IV for their continued patience and assistance; the region has been doing great work and I am proud to serve as your Chair. I especially want to thank the Regional Selection Team, the Regional Executive Committee, the Respondent Coordinators and all who responded to our incredibly diverse productions in 2010. The work you all do enriches this festival and challenges our students to do their best work.
This year’s festival continues the tradition of providing a wide range of opportunities for our students and faculty to participate in. This year, we have a larger group of invited productions, a strong selection of workshops from every field of theatre, and a beautiful backdrop in which to celebrate our work! I invite everyone to share in as many of the great opportunities available as you can!
Best wishes for a wonderful festival!

PERFORMANCE WORKSHOPS The Actor, the Play, the Game – Physical Theater and the Real World with James Peck
This workshop examines the peculiar relationship between play and player. What is the twinkle that is present in an action or a word that gives it life and vigor? Using games and exercises from Dell'Arte International we probe the play in the everyday to keep the twinkle shining. Come in clothing suitable for movement. Aiming for a Paradigm: a New Framework for Directing Practice with Tom Mitchell In this workshop participants will learn a new vocabulary for considering the work of directors. From Fundamental Tools, to Rehearsal Methods, to Motifs and Paradigms, the process
of directing is articulated in a logical and flexible approach. Participants will practice using concepts introduced in the workshop.
Auditioning for Musical Theatre from the Director’s
Perspective with Michael Wainstein This is a workshop that allows students to present audition materials for consideration by a Director and Musical Director. What makes this workshop unique is the insight provided the auditioner from the point of view of the director doing the hiring. Students will come with prepared audition materials and will present auditions in their entirety. Following will be feedback from the Director and Musical Director on improving their work. Auditioning for URTA: What You Need to Know with
Paul Favini The presentation will be both an information session regarding the National Unified Audition process and recommendations as to how to prepare, as well as a Q and A about what to expect and how to best proceed through this important "career changing" opportunity. The information is beneficial to students as well as faculty mentoring students toward this process. Avant-garde Techniques with Anthony Tassa This workshop explores various techniques and exercises geared towards helping the actor discover personal freedom
in the moment and greater awareness of ensemble communication. The exercises employed include some utilized by Jerzy Grotowski, The Living Theatre, and other late twentieth century pioneers in movement and actor training. From Script Analysis to Performance with C. David Frankel This ―hands-on‖ workshop combines discussion and ―on-your-feet‖ work to clarify the concepts of the fictive, dramaturgical, and theatrical worlds of the play; to underscore the relationship of the ―facts‖ of these different
worlds to the ―meaning‖ of the play; and to demonstrate the ways in which knowledge of these worlds and their facts are transformed into performance.
Have You Lost Your Senses?! with Susan McCain We will work on recapturing and unleashing the magic that our senses hold for us as performers and artists. Through the sense memory work developed by Lee Strasberg, we'll demonstrate the pathway to one's uniquely, expressive instrument.
Michael Chekhov for Teachers with Jessica Cerullo and Ragnar Freidank Are you curious about the Michael Chekhov technique? This workshop will address how this technique can assist both the actor and the teacher of acting. Networking in Your Professional Acting Career with Michael Legg There are fewer and fewer acting jobs available in this economy. And most of those are offered out of actors that the director, playwright, and/or theatre have worked with
before. So how do you become one of those actors? In this seminar, we’ll talk about ways to organize and mine a database of contacts, how to format your resume in ways that get you into an audition and how to make first contact with people who will one day hire you. The Physical Body and Voice of Shakespeare with Rayme Cornell The workshop connects the heightened language of Shakespeare to the contemporary language of today. The technique approaches Shakespeare physically, using all genres of music as a basis to connect to the body and voice,
through intense physical awareness. We strip away the notion of "affected" voice and learn to drop into the actor's real voice. Students must have a Shakespeare monologue and know it by heart! Students must be prepared to move, and actors should be both mentally and physically fit. Play Readings: A Workshop for Directors, Actors and Playwrights with Rob Urbinati Readings of new plays are a major component of many theatres' new play development programs. They have become auditions for actors and directors, and a major
opportunity for playwrights. This workshop examines the challenges imposed by the time limit for actors and directors of readings, and considers what the playwright can expect to learn - and not learn - from a reading. This is a practical, hands-on workshop. Festival actors will perform in short scenes. Please Move Your Inside Outside with Pat Shaw Through exercises in improvised movement and ensemble generation, we’ll explore the concept of ―the moment,‖ working to build a greater awareness of and – more importantly— a TRUST in the performer’s unique physical
instrument. Elements of Contact Improv, Viewpoints, or anything else we may discover. Come explore and play! Rhapsodizing Poetry: Performing Verse Dramatically with Robert Gonzalez Rhapsodes were the ―song-stitchers‖ of ancient Greece who ―rhapsodized‖ or performed poetry sacred to that civilization. Modern rhapsodes perform great poetry,
KCACTF Region IV – Festival 43 Page 12
classical and modern. Learn techniques performing poetry dramatically to bring it alive for your audience. The workshop will activate concepts and techniques in voice & diction, close reading, poetic devices & forms, and memorization all aimed at developing the rhapsode in you.
Scene Study with Thomas W. Jones, II This workshop will cover the detailed work in script analysis for the actor, monologue preparation, developing rhythm and tempo within the context of the scene, the actor's work in understanding the through-line of a scene and developing character logic from moment to moment. Sink or Swim: The Experience of Auditioning with Jessica Cerullo and Ragnar Freidank "To create by inspiration one must become aware of ones own individuality" -- Michael Chekhov How can we work with opposing forces in the audition room?
What do we do when our real feelings, brought about by the audition experience, meet our audition material? Inspired by Michael Chekhov's acting technique, we will dive into the ocean that is auditioning. Voice Overs with Rayme Cornell What's a voice over? It is the art of using the voice to sell, inform and entertain. This workshop will cover the in's and out's of the voiceover industry, from how to produce a reel to getting an agent to simply learning the technique of what it takes to book the job. It will cover all genres of the industry from commercials, promos, narration, political,
animation, CD Rom, radio imaging, jingles and video games and more.

The workshop will discuss different techniques to visualize and discuss lighting design such as photography, artwork, and other visual images with a focus on increasing collaboration. Writing the Design Statement with Dick Block The design statement is a great way to plan how to present your work to your collaborators. This workshop will provide the "do's" and "don't's" of writing an intelligent, cohesive
and clear statement describing your design ideas and how you have implemented them visually.

PLAYWRITING & DRAMATURGY WORKSHOPS Active Dramaturgy: New Play Development and Posing Questions with Lenora Inez Brown
We'll work with dramaturgs and playwrights to develop the skills needed to help new plays evolve more organically while deepening the playwright/dramaturg collaboration. Adapting for the Stage with Rob Urbinati This workshop examines how previously existing material - novels, non-fiction, journalism, biographies and true stories - can be adapted for the stage. It explores the challenge of finding the story within a story that you, the writer, want to tell. It considers plot, structure and character as they relate to adaptation and explores the issue of faithfulness to the source material. There will also be readings of selections
from adapted plays by Urbinati (Hazelwood Jr. High and West Moon Street) performed by Festival actors. Finding a New Play with Sam Thielman Attendees learn to use valuable tools for locating an audience-appropriate contemporary play for educational production, including web, standard mail, and local resources that can be found anywhere in the country.

Play Readings: A Workshop for Directors, Actors and Playwrights with Rob Urbinati Readings of new plays are a major component of many theatres' new play development programs. They have become auditions for actors and directors, and a major opportunity for playwrights. This workshop examines the
challenges imposed by the time limit for actors and directors of readings, and considers what the playwright can expect to learn-and not learn- from a reading. A practical, hands-on workshop. Festival actors will perform in short scenes. Serving the Play: A Workshop for Directors and Playwrights with Gregg Henry A workshop focusing on the director’s responsibilities to the new play and playwright. The "Dramatists Bill of Rights", adopted by the Dramatists Guild of America in 2007, will serve as the starting point of the discussion. This session will be an active conversation, using the participants’ own
experiences of both successful and less-than-successful working partnerships as ―case studies.‖ This workshop intends to challenge those directors who believe it is their right to do whatever they like with [or to] a new play.
Likewise, it intends to challenge those playwrights who believe that just because it has been written, the play deserves un-questioned devotion and carte blanche. Writing Notes that Inspire: Improving the Dramaturg/Playwright/Director Relationship with
Lenora Inez Brown Ever find yourself working on a project and needing to write notes to the director or playwright? You work hard to make them clear and exciting but for some reason they do not produce the effect you desire. In this workshop we'll explore what makes a note work well and what makes them fall flat.

since 1995. Region IV has had a number of national winners in that time, sending several student critics to the O’Neill Center for two weeks of intensive training with professional theatre critics. Hunt hopes to retire
from this fabulous gig as soon as possible (MTSU), but what with the wondrous salaries in Tennessee and several children who wish to make their living in the arts, he will probably teach well into his 90’s, finally dropping dead (mercifully) while trying to recall Aristotle’s 6 elements of tragedy for a theatre appreciation class full of concrete management majors.
